The Famous "EYE"

You all have heard alot of talk about the famous eye issues Ive been having, I thought I would explain it a little more in depth so you all understand a little better.

I woke up from surgery, with the worst pain I had ever felt but not from the back of my head from my eye! The pain was worse then labor, surgery pain, and all the in between it was so intense I couldn't open my eyes(both) at all so I lived in couple darkness for days after the surgery and so did my parents and hubby(I feel so sorry for them)!! We had many doctors, nurses, anesthesiologist, and eye doctors look at my eye, then they prescribed me an extra dose of pain medicine and eye drops...they all had no clue what it was except they believed it was a scratch due to having my eye open during surgery...later we would find out they DID know what it was!!

On the day I was released from the hospital the pain from my eye was almost completely gone and I could open both eyes, still with little vision but it was definitely a step up! This was a gift from GOD!

We had a apt with Dr. Kay, Today, Tuesday Feb 22nd at 7:40am. After 6days after my surgery and I still have yet to regain vision in the eye(well I can see shapes and colors-but not defined edges and letters etc)the hubby and I really wanted answers! Since the right eye is my dominate eye and this is the eye that is hurt it makes life very difficult most days...I feel very sea sick all day, its difficult to move, walk and talk, even type, read, and alot of other issues!
Dr Kay studied to be a neurologist - which we were very surprised about, he knew all about my surgery a due to this fact and what they had to do and what caused my eye issues. They dropped some dye into my eye and there was no scratches or irritation that he could see they even brought in a second guy to look at it and nothing was there. There was nothing wrong with my eye, but I cant see out of it!? What is going on!? I just don't understand! This is were is was great that he studied to be a neurologist because he was able to explain the surgery and how if to much pressure is built up on one side of the brain(ex.left side of the brain would effect the right eye, etc.) during the decompression, you will lose your eye sight on the other side of your head. Dr Kay has seen a couple cases like mine and they are completely blind in the eye, he said since I did not lose my vision there is a chance it will recover which he is praying for but if it doesn't I will never receive it back and there will be nothing he can do to help like contacts, or glasses since its a neurological issue. He words were I am lucky to be alive, and this is all that the surgery effected.

All surgeries have risks and etc so I am not one bit mad at the doctors for my eye issues, I am upset because there is a chance that it will never recover and I am worried I will have to feel like this forever, but God never gives anyone something they cant handle...so I'm OK with it and calm, so far God has keep me away from walking into 90 percent  of the walls and doors and I haven't had any serious issues due to my eye. So far the surgery has been a success, So as of now I am thankful for the life I live and the people I get to share it with!! Thank you all for all the prayers! We had a rough couple of days and then one night at 3am something switched and things turned for the positive! Thank you all!!WE LOVE YOU!

Tish, I found your blog to be so interesting as I did not know exactly what your condition was or what to expect from your surgery. You have come so far... we will pray that your eye will heal and vision will return. It's not too late! Love, Helen Mae (your mom's cousin).
